.NECKTIE SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 517,769, dated April .3, 1894i'.

' Application filed October 11, 1893.' Serial No.487.884. (No muriel.)`v

To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

,Be it known that I, GUs'rAvE SELowsKY, of

vNew York, in the county and State of New y struct a neck tie that money and othervaluables may be conveniently and securely carried therein.

The invention consists in the particular construction and arrangement of parts asv hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a front'elevation of a scarf having my improvementV applied. Fig. 2. is a similar view of another form of scarf. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the lower portion of one apron or end of the scarf. Fig. 4 is a similar view, but before the turned up portion has been secured, and the ap applied. Fig. 5 is a vertical section on line 33 of Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings A is a scarf, which may be of theftype known as Teck shown in Fig. 1, or four-in-hand vshown in Fig. 2, and B is the pocketin the lower portion of one apron or end a thereof. The

pocket B is formed in one apron 'of the Teck, or one end of the four-in-hand, by turning the lower portion of the said apron or end upwardly an'd outwardly and securing it at its side edges to the part over which it is turned, as shown most clearly in Figs. 3`

and 5. ,l

Before turning up the apron or end a to form the pocket, the silk orrother material forming the facing of the scarf, is removed from the lower,l portion of such apron or end, and the piece a2 removed, is secured to the inner surface of thelining of the said apron or end, opposite that part from which it has been removed, as shown in Figs. 3, 4. and 5, so thaty when -the said'portio'n of the apron or end is turned up and secured, as before described, the silk or facing will be on theouter surface of the said turned up portion, and the pocket will thus presentthe same appearance as the remainder of theapron or end.

Instead of removing a portion of the silk 0r other material forming the facing and applying the piece removed to the inner surface ofthe lining, the facing, in the manufacture Aofl the scarf, may be made to terminate short of the lower end of the lining of the apron or end, and a piece of corresponding facing may beapplied to the innersurface of the said lining.

In made up scarfs, as shown in Fig. 1, the aprons a a have a fixed relation at their upof the same length. In forming the pockets in such scarfs, the apron ais made of greater length than the apron a', as shown by dotted lines, Fig. l, so that when turned vup to form the pocket, the two aprons will be about the same length. I preferably secure a iap C, of the same material as the scarf, to the apron or end above the mouth of the pocket, and provide a fasteningD for securing it down over per ends, and the aprons are approximately Y the pocket, as shown in the drawings, so that the whole will present the appearance of a pocket-book. While any form of fastening may be employed, I prefer the form shown in the drawings, which consists of a base d provided with astud d2 for entering an eyeleted aperture c in the flap C, and a spring actu-y ated lid or cover d3 hinged to the base and adapted to fold down onto the ap, after the stud has' been passed through 'the aperture of the saidiap.y v

While I have only shown my improvement applied to Tecks and four-in-hands, yet it is obvious that it can be applied to pu and other forms of 'scarta It will thus be seen that by providing' a scarf or other neck tie with a pocket in its apron or end, and closing it with a flap, a pocket book will be formed, which will not mar the appearance of the scarf or neck tie, and one in which money andv other valuables can be conveniently and with safety carried. It will also be seen that the weight of the contents ofthe pocket, will tend to hold the scarf or tie down, thereby preventing the necessity of employing a fastening for this purpose.

Having thus'described my invention, what I claim, and-desire to secure by Letters Patent, is f f 1. An improved neck tie, comprising two ends or aprons formed with a facing and a 1ining, one of the ends or aprons having its facing terminating short of its lower end, and a corresponding facing applied to the inner sur- IOO face of the lining opposite the uniaced porof its lower end and applied to the inner snrtion, the said inner faced portion of such end face of said end, said longer apron being or apron being turned outwardly and upturned outwardly and upwardly and secured x5 wardly and secured at its side edges to the to the part over which it is turned, to form a 5 part over which it is turned, to form a pocket, pocket, substantially as described.
